Halo Thread: Games, TV, Movies and Books

Game comes out Nov 6, right?
How come I’m seeing people playing this shit already? This game is getting leaked hard!

Oh, someone just linked me to some shit, one disc has 8GB of shit you’ll need to install on your Hardrive. The other is were the game is in, I think.

I never played BF3 so I don’t know if this is what you meant RockB

MS has been banning people that have been playing the game completely off line so they do keep tabs on people. If anyone plays early be smart enough to do it on an account/xbox you don’t care about.

Way to throw your brother under the bus. I mean thankfully the people over at Halo finally played a CoD game, a good one to use as an example too.

Hey go to that stupid doll thread, I posted a pic of a chick I met last night.

Two discs? :shake:

One is probably for Multi-Play BF3/ODST style.

I hate that about BF3. I frequent between both the campaign AND multiplayer and it’s a hassle to me to have to switch out the discs back and forth all the time. Same issue with Dead Space 2.

I thought Microsoft was going to start changing their discs’ formats to allow more space on them? They said they were going to start doing it with DS2 but then voila, it came out on two discs.

Dunno. I hardly play Multi-Play in games so I doubt this will bother me much but I guess if your flippin back and fourth a lot it could be an issue.

Go make a sammich while it loads or something I dunno.

Im a fanboy admittedly… but i swear to god i get the chills from all these vidocs lol

Im gonna have to wait
it looks like HALO x COD x Crysis.

people said crysis was like Halo x COD so… yeah
if they do it right, it can be amazing.
the perks system is what is bothering me.
REACH was bad enough with all that stuff…

I like how they are completely ignoring the fact that Marathon already is the Sequel to the Halo series.

Why does Microsoft ban people for playing their games early? I don’t own a 360 so I don’t understand the rationale behind this.

Because that is their defense to pirating, they can legally do it though. When you sign the XBL agreement, it is in there.

The fucked up thing is that particular XBox unit is banned from XBL. So lets say someone trades it in and gets a new unit because they got banned. Then someone else buys a used xbox and it just so happens to be that one. Guess what he can not play on XBL and he did not even do a damn thing.

What a shitty defense against piracy. It doesn’t actually stop anyone from playing the game.

Actually no it is not

This is not commonly known but about a year after the 360 came out, MS were releasing “updates” to their XBL and any MS that had any kind of modding done at all(for example mine had an aftermarket fan I bought and installed that actually fucking worked), were automatically banned. So yeah I had to disconnect my fan and put back in the shitty MS fan it came with.

MS could get away with it as well because you were modding their software. You do not legally own the 360 are you are basically just leasing it. For some reason Video Game Systems do not fall under the same provision as Cell Phones or PCs where you can do what you want with it after you buy it.

You do not own your XBox, you are just being allowed to use it.

Ah okay, that law was after MS did that so I could see that.

I know Sony was sued for releasing an Update that did nothing more then take away the ability to put a different OS on the PS3, Didn’t Sony win that suit?

Yeah so it is still possible that you do not actually own your Game Systems at least no the PS3. I know part of Sonys defense is you do not own the system itself, you just own the right to use the system under their rules.
